Ep 25 - Victim of Success

by Anton Rossini

Sun, 13 December 2020 (cont)

As the explosion subsides, the fire alarms and sprinklers go off. We grab the wailing girl and push her out, making our way west through the trees to try to avoid the security guards that we can see running through the park.

Unfortunately, Oxford, still in the form of a wolf, is overcome by The Beast as he tries to hide and kills a security guard. We move on, finding another guard near the warehouses… this time it is Anton’s messy critical that inspires him to creep up behind the guard and tear open his throat, taking this opportunity to feed.

As we escape from the park, Larissa learns that her name is Kylie Burrows and, from the remorse she expounds, we ascertain she appears to be the source of the blister. We learn that she receives phones calls from either a man or a woman with an instruction as to what male she is supposed to seduce and sleep with, which started soon after she was embraced, about five months ago, but she claims she does not know the name of her Sire.

Suddenly, Kylie attacks Malady and starts tearing at her - Malady attacks back and kills her, and Anton notices that Malady consumes Kylie’s flesh with more voracity than she drinks the spilled blood.

With the target of our mission now “dusted”, as directed, we call Lucy for the car, who drives us back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel we are invited to dinner, although none of us have any need to eat. Oxford disappears out to the balcony and a local security person ("Maggot") goes out with her. Meanwhile, Anton goes out to advise Lex the mission has been completed. Lex advises that he’ll be closing in an hour; when Anton questions why, Lex says he always closes at that time, but Anton knows that’s a lie and makes sure Lex knows he knows.

Anton returns to the room.
